联邦法官批准就涉嫌报复性起诉Kilmar Abrego Garcia举行听证会

摘要

美国联邦法官已下令举行听证会,以审查针对Kilmar Abrego Garcia的人口走私指控是否构成对其成功提起驱逐诉讼的非法报复。

美国联邦法官已下令举行听证会,以确定针对Kilmar Abrego Garcia的人口走私指控是否为非法报复。Abrego Garcia是一名萨尔瓦多籍人士,曾在马里兰州从事建筑工作,之前曾就其被驱逐出境至萨尔瓦多一案起诉特朗普政府,并获得胜诉。

法官Waverly Crenshaw发现有充分证据表明起诉可能具有报复性质,引用了特朗普政府官员的言论及指控的时间节点。值得注意的是,副司法部长Todd Blanche在福克斯新闻上的言论暗示司法部之所以提出指控,是因为Abrego Garcia成功挑战了他的驱逐令。

国土安全部在最高法院于四月裁定其返回美国后不久,重新启动了对Abrego Garcia的调查。他于5月21日被起诉,并于6月6日——即他从萨尔瓦多被带回美国当天——被正式指控。

Abrego Garcia对人口走私指控表示不认罪,该指控源于2022年在田纳西州的一次交通拦截。如果被定罪,他将面临驱逐出境。他目前被关押在宾夕法尼亚州,继续寻求庇护,尽管美国移民法官最近驳回了他的申请。

此案因涉嫌起诉是对Abrego Garcia挑战驱逐令的惩罚而引发关注。他的律师辩称这些指控毫无根据且具有报复性。

司法部和国土安全部尚未对有关此案的询问作出回应。
